Warm Summer Nights {Ahwatukee AZ Family Photographer}

Ah! Busy season is officially here and my blog is suffering. Again ;) I met with Lauren and her family late September for a fun and energetic session, I know Lauren from my local MOPS group and was absolutely thrilled when she asked me to capture this time in their lives. Her boys are absolutely adorable and so well behaved even though they would rather go explore the desert instead of sitting still for photos, such good sports :)

Thank you guys for a beautiful evening! XOXO

The Petterson kids {Ahwatukee and Sweden Family Photographer}

These kids were so fun to work with, not only because they could not stop laughing, but also because the girls look SO much like their mom, and since I grew up with her I kept getting flashbacks from our childhood! Absolutely crazy! These photos were taken in one of their horse pastures, I got so spoiled with all the beautiful locations while in Sweden, and all in clients' backyards!


A few days later I went back to get photos of her biggest baby, Abe ;) Abe is a gorgeous Friesian horse from the Netherlands, and is a perfect fit for my friend, strong and bold, just like her. We had been waiting for a dramatic evening sky for this shoot and lucked out with a tiny window of time, and I do believe this was the last nice evening of our trip, so glad we got to capture it!






Thanks for looking!

XOXO, Anna

Butter flowers? {Sweden Child Photography}

The title got you stumped? Yeah, me too a little, so these yellow flowers are called smörblommor in Swedish and the direct translation is butter flowers, they are everywhere late spring/early summer which was so nice for sessions. I met with this family about midway through my trip and absolutely loved these kids! We did get rained on for most of the outdoor photos, but that didn't damper their spirits ;) They also have a beautiful pony, and of course we had to get a few photos with her as well :)




Thank you! XOXO, Anna

Mr. William {Sweden and Phoenix AZ Child Photographer}

Another Sweden session today, this guy was absolutely awesome, with so many cute and hilarious expressions! I love photographing babies this age, even though it can be a roller-coaster at times ;) We did run out of smiles and giggles at one point, but once he was able to show off his new standing skills we quickly went back to being happy again ;)






Thank you!! XOXO Anna

Summernights {Sweden and Phoenix AZ Family Photographer}

This gorgeous family was so fun to work with, and their little girl is as busy as they come! I can't remember the last time I ran around so much during a single child session ;) That's ok though, as adorable as she was it was well worth the cardio :)

Blogging these Sweden sessions makes me miss the cool summer-nights so much, maybe not the mosquitoes, but the smells, sounds, and cool air was so refreshing and I can't wait to return!

Oh yeah, and here are the photos :)







Thank you so much for a fun evening, hope to see you all again next time!

XOXO, Anna

Cousin time! {Sweden and Phoenix AZ Child Photographer}

Aah, nothing sweeter than spending time with your cousins in the summertime. This adorable set of cousins had a blast during our session, might be because of all the silliness going on behind the camera, but I'll never tell ;)

I just loved all this crazy bubbly energy :)




Thank you guys for playing with me!

XOXO, Anna

Emil & Maja {Sweden and Phoenix AZ Children Photographer}

Next on my Sweden blogging list is Emil and Maja. I met these two cuties in their home on a sunny afternoon, we had such luck with the Swedish weather this time around, it can be really unpredictable and rainy but I have to say that we had more sun than rain this time which was very appreciated!

Growing up knowing both parents, it was so fun to photograph their little mini me's ;)



Thank you for a great session!

XOXO, Anna

Cousins! {Phoenix, AZ and Sweden Photographer}

I am finally back in the heat of AZ and ready to start sharing all the photos from my time in Sweden. I am absolutely blown away by all the positive feedback and sessions from my time there, and I loved meeting and photographing some of the friends I grew up with. These cute little cousins were my first official Swedish clients, we had such a fun session in their home and backyard, and they were such troopers.

First up is Lowe, the oldest of the cousins :)



and sweet little Lia



and of course, both cousins together



I had so much fun with these two, and can't wait to visit again!

XOXO, Anna

Greetings from Sweden!

I am currently visiting my family in Sweden, it has been such an amazing trip so far! I went here thinking that I would have plenty of time to blog, but little did I know ;) So, just to keep this poor neglected blog fresh I'm going to share a few of my favorites so far :)











See you in July :)

XOXO, Anna

Fun in the sun {Ahwatukee, AZ Family Photographer}

I had so much fun with this sweet family, we met at one of my favorite photography spots one warm evening for a family session. Their little boy Henry is busy little guy and he loves to pop bubbles and throw the football around, he's got quite the arm too ;)










Thank you! XOXO

Clickin Moms Monthly Challenge {interesting perspective}

Time again for our Clickin Moms Monthly Challenge, this month's theme was interesting perspectives. I always try to do this with the kids, and I have to say my son loved it this month. He is starting to love photography more and more and his creativity is so much better than mine, ah I wish I had the mind of a child still ;) Here is our take on interesting perspectives.





And here's what we they did for most of our session ;)



Please visit my friend Laurie for her take on interesting perspectives!

XOXO, Anna
